Few things are worse than living in the shadow of a really successful older sibling. We imagine the siblings (or cousins, right Catholics?) of Jesus probably felt that way.

Imagine being young Gregory of Nyssa, the brother of four siblings who would go on to receive sainthood. And two of them are your oldest brother and sister. What a nightmare. For Gregory, living a life of spiritual adventure like his relatives was far from his mind. But of course, the Lord had other plans.

Join us this week as we cover the last of the Cappadocian Fathers, Gregory of Nyssa. We'll discuss how his theological contributions and early mystical writings still bless the church to this day.

Also Taylor talks about a rap group that he and John were a part of, and Thomas tells a joke from the Babylon Bee.
